** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Spell checking / spelling error highlighting does not work properly in + eg gedit, gnote or gtranslator when using a language which uses Voikko + (often Finnish, but also North Sámi (giella-sme package) or user + installed HFST spellers like other Sámi languages or Greenlandic) or + Zemberek (Turkish) backend via Enchant-2. + + [Test Case] + + (from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gspell/-/issues/10) + + 1. apt install libenchant-2-voikko voikko-fi + 2. Run gedit, gnote, gtranslator or other gspell using program + 3. (in gedit) Enable underlining of incorrectly typed words, and set Finnish (suomi) as language + 4. Copy-paste for example "tämä on testitekstiä" ("this is test text"), maybe for a comparison "tämmä on vihre" (1st and 3rd word incorrect) + 5. Note how everything is underlined - in suggestions, you can choose the same word and the underlining disappears, but as soon as you eg "leave" the word (press space after it) it gets underlined again. However, if doing manual spell checking the words are correctly understood as being correct. + + [Regression Potential] + + The patch changes code only in voikko and zemberek backends, so + regression potential would be very low outside of those, and Zemberek + backend is currently disabled by default in Debian and Ubuntu. Voikko + backend would be good to test via multiple libraries like gspell, + gtkspell, sonnet that there are no regressions. + + --- original report --- + This shows up particularly with the inline checking feature of gspell in eg gedit which is part of the default Ubuntu installation. The issue is fixed in Enchant 2.2.12, and after that release reaches Debian and Ubuntu hirsute, I hope a backport of this patch to https ://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/AbiWord/enchant/pull/260.patch can be done to groovy and focal. SRU paperwork to be added later, but in general all backends would be - good to test after the backport in various ways like gspell, sonnet, - libreoffice. + good to test after the backport in various ways like gspell, sonnet.
